Temur Dragons

I guess you might call it a budget deck.
I just got back into magic and have about 20 boosters of Tarkir, 3 each of Nyx and Theros, as well as the deck builders box from 2015. I've bought a couple single cards at the magic counter but that's all. I'm not looking to throw hundreds of dollars at this, but I would consider picking up a few top dollar cards.
I play a handful of friends casually at the moment but I would like to get into competitive play sometime in the future. Thanks for the feedback.

You should just sell your cards bruh

^^^Agreed^^^

Well, budget. Ok. First of all, there is that funny combo with Siege Dragon and Polymorphists Jest. If you wanted to use that more, I'd get one to two more of each of them, preferably 2. This combo isn't really competetive though.

Second, if you can afford any Atarka, World Render, I'd pick up a couple of them, because they are pretty crazy.

Satyr Hedonist is ramp, yes, but there are better ways of doing it. I would suggest plain old Elvish Mystic as a mana ramp solution. 4x them should do nicely.

Card advantage is always useful. Divination is fine for budget, but I'd run Steam Augury as it's better, or Dig Through TIme if you're up for pouring money into the deck (which you said you didn't want to).

I would say that your Nyxborn Wolf and Singing Bell Strike probably don't do much for the deck, and nor are they really on theme as such. You'll probably want more removal instead. Lightning strike are a powerful, cheap ($) alternative which deal enough damage to kill things. You can also run Magma Jet if your friends play lots of Reclamation Sage sized creatures.

Avalance Tusker are good aggressive midrange cards, but Savage Knuckleblade are even better. However, they cost more money, and your budget might not stretch to that. Another interesting enchantment (and since your deck is very big creature heavy you might like these) is Temur Ascendancy. They give you a nice source of cards as well as giving all your dragons and stuff haste. Savage Knuckleblade is also quite a strong card in tournaments in it's own right.

Closing in on the end here. If you want to pay more money and be more competetive, you'll want to pick up the big expensive mythic rare bomb cards like Stormbreath Dragon, Nissa Worldwaker, Sarkhan Dragonspeaker, Surrak Dragonclaw, Xenagos God of Revels and so on and so forth. You'll also want some better mana ramp to support it, so Sylvan Caryatid is the perfect card to fit in here. She blocks well, has hexproof and generate perfect mana fixing.

Speaking of mana fixing, the last thing you'll want to go competetive is a strong manabase. This will probably be the most expensive part of the deck, running cards like Mana Confluence, Shivan Reef, Yavimaya Coast and the fetchlands.


The competetive route that I've shown you involves pretty close to a full rework of your deck, although the advantage is it can be done in stages. The first thing I'd do would be to grab some Savage Knuckleblades, Temur Ascendancy, Temur Charm, Elvish Mystic, and maybe a Stormbreath Dragon if you feel like it (the dragons also stay on theme :)). Then you fill it out with the other mythics I mentioned slowly, finishing the manabase last.


Alternatively, if you just want to play casually, feel free to only take some or none of my suggestions whatsoever while cramming your deck full of whatever dragons you can find. Just remember to run enough ramp to reach them. Hopefully I've been of some help here.
Good luck, and enjoy playing Magic.
